The current straight line winds (which everyone needs to take seriously) is due to the vortex in the Atlantic.

Noted in this satellite view is a vortex in the Atlantic. The piling up of air and increased velocity of winds due to consolidation of the 'calories of energy' in a localizing vortex is due to an enormous movement of hot water vapor form the Equator. 

There is a new vortex formation beginning over the center of North America. The danger of this vortex is the fact it is concentrating the hot water vapor into a smaller region.

The reason this vortex is forming is because the jet stream is dominated by a lethargic movement of air masses around the globe. The air piles up (yes air has mass), the concentration of heat energy accumulates and the ferocious forces of nature is unleashed. This is human induced global warming. The drag by this lethargic air causes a drag on Earth and slows its rotation. The slower rotation effects the Coriolis Effect and the air mass continues to grow in lethargic movement and the cycle goes on and on and on.

This destructive dynamic is brought to every living being on Earth compliments of the petroleum industry.

RED LODGE - Above average temperatures and a lack of snow are taking their toll on ski resorts throughout the region....

This is an editorial for the adaptation of ski areas to 'do something' to preserve an economic benefit to local economies. It is a plea for help from the federal government to do something about the dependency of the country on the petroleum industry. NOT Saudi Arabia or the Middle East, but, THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY. Got that part? Drilling in the USA is NOT the answer !!!! That is GOP political fodder. Got that part?

Ski areas must adapt or die (click here)

...Two messages should be taken from their report: Everything within reason that can be done to slow the warming should be done. And for ski resorts and their communities, it’s a case of adapt or die.
The average winter temperature in northern New Hampshire is already nearly 2 degrees warmer than it was a generation ago. If winter temperatures increase another 2 to 4 degrees as predicted, the director of the Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change at the University of Waterloo in Ontario says that no Connecticut or Massachusetts ski area will be around 30 years from now....

This is FACT. This is not myth. It is not the Arctic. This is Northern New Hampshire for God Sake! The corruption in the federal authority to do the country's business IS GONE because of a completely dysfunction GOP destroying this country's economy and killing people.

Hey Lindsay ! Lindsay Graham, you got tornadoes in Georgia, Babe! You ought to Pow-Wow with Chambliss and Isakson to resolve the high CO2 content of the USA!
